As a previous three time Paradigm owner the Persona 9H is the best Paradigm I’ve heard and still as annoying for me to listen to. I can’t listen to speakers with screwy time and phase characteristics regardless of their price. For the cost of your choices I’d go for Vandersteen Treo CTs $9K /pr. and his Sub 9s $19K /pr. Spend a few days listening to the Treo’s, disregarding their bass extension, then back to your current choices and you should be able to hear the rightness of the time and phase aspect. Been using sealed subs since the mid eighties. The rooms have always dictated their location and its never been in or next to the main speakers. |
sciencecop midrange, is typically the frequency range between 300Hz and 5,000Hz. 400 hz is the beginning of midrange...not "the middle". DSP in 9H only corrects bass region (until 200 hz). |
@nabcs Hate to break it to you; your speakers are DSP up to 400Hz. From The Persona spec page:“…(two front-firing, two rear-firing). Each woofer pair is powered by a separate DSP-controlled 700 W RMS”. Of course, why would you know, even their top seller/promoter didn’t bother to learn how they actually work. Also, 3rd order XO at 400Hz means you are only 18db down at 800Hz, etc. Most of your midrange is overlapping with a delayed DSP signal (rolling off, but still audible). No wonder these speakers sound as “annoying” as they do. |
